The Principle of Invariance and Non-coherent Scattering
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to obtain an expression for the reflecting properties of a semi-infinite, plane parallel, isothermal atmosphere of scattering factor λ. The absorption and scattering of the incident radiation is assumed to be entirely due to transitions in two-level atoms, and the absorption and emission profiles are given by <f>(y), y being frequency from line centre in Doppler units.
